When resources shrink, citizens turn on each other—not by accident. As the top 400 hoard wealth, the middle class is gutted, public services collapse, and leaders stoke hate toward marginalized groups to distract from their own theft.

Don't fall for it!

Because they puppet what the WH says.

Where are all the egg price screamers that were constantly on the news last fall?

Beth Crowe @bethannc.bsky.social · 19h

This is who they are.

Beth Crowe @bethannc.bsky.social · 19h

With no accountability either. Taxpayer dollars & who knows how they’re spent!

As Wall Street soars. Wise up Americans. We are in a Gilded Age again.

And Trump can’t be held accountable for any crimes he commits while in office.

Can you imagine the screaming & yelling about the budget & corruption on Capitol Hill if Obama did anything like that?

Beth Crowe @bethannc.bsky.social · 20h

Trump has unleashed domestic terror. Eff John Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Alito, Thomas & Gorsuch. Trump should be held accountable.

Education, too. All politics.

My brother wanted to retire on a cul de sac where guys hang out in their garages and work on cars.

I would like to buy a union made car in the US. They’re all huge which I don’t really need and finding one under $50K is hard. It’s not just union made either. Foreign auto maker prices are way up there, too.

She is great but why wouldn’t she want to retire? These pols just can’t seem to leave. She’s 77!

I get the Atlantic. Love it!

He didn’t end anything anywhere.

I still know my grandmother’s phone number and my girlfriend’s landline numbers. That was from the 60’s.

You can be sure Netanyahu doesn’t think it’s over.

No cash for making my sign!

Only reasons Trump wanted to be president other than adulation was to make money & now to stay out of jail. He’s made plenty of money through his president deal.

It depends. Some states are better at providing services. Others are not. With Fed oversight there was monitoring of every district.

Beth Crowe @bethannc.bsky.social · 2d

And all the cuts to head start too

Beth Crowe @bethannc.bsky.social · 2d

The law says needs met & what’s appropriate. But it simply will come down to not enough money for schools to implement services & there are not enough special ed teachers so what the law says becomes immaterial. Special ed law has never ever been funded to the level it was supposed to be anyway.

Oh, there are plenty of parents who scream for more & more services for their kids who voted for this. They’ll get to see what it was like for kids with disabilities before PL 94-142. Elections have consequences.

And those rural hospitals have to play a game of thrones in order to get a piece of the $50 billion!
